SC Congressman (CONT’D FROM PAGE 1)

Core Competency

EPA to use all the tools at their disposal to expedite the process of achieving permanent action to mitigate odor is- sues stemming from operations at the New-Indy container board facility in Catawba,’’ Norman’s letter to EPA Admin- istrator Michael Regan said. Norman’s letter asked Regan to increase staffing to review some 600 public comments that have been submitted about the proposed enforce- ment case, which will help ultimately “achieve relief’’ for people living near the paper mill. The volume of the com- ments has contributed to a delay in resolving the matter, Norman’s letter said. The EPA’s proposed enforcement ac- tion can’t be finalized until the environmental agency and the U.S. Justice Department review the comments and de- cide what to tell the court, the letter said. In a statement, New-Indy said it had made substantial strides in reducing hydrogen sulfide pollution and had been in touch with Norman’s office. “Congressman Nor- man and his staff have visited the mill several times and we have kept them regularly updated on our progress on odor remediation efforts,’’ the statement said. “Hydrogen sulfide emissions from the facility have been negligible or zero for many months due to upgrades and improvements New-Indy Catawba has made. New-Indy Catawba will con- tinue to cooperate with the federal and state authorities. We strive to be a good neighbor, desirable employer and major economic driver for the region.’’
